General Part Discussion

Well, there goes that idea. Thanks for finding it for me.

A useful addittion to Lego gears would be a 24T one way clutch similar to the white 24T clutch gear which would allow drive in one direction only but prevent rotation the other way.

[AkiyamaWataru]

You mean a form of free roling gear?

[2LegoOrNot2Lego...]

Well, there goes that idea. Thanks for finding it for me.

Too bad because is't a great idea...

[LucyCol]

Well, there goes that idea. Thanks for finding it for me.

Would this Part not work as a substitute,you may need to vary the scale

[scynox]

hi everyone, I have a question about these two driving ring connectors

and

I made a similar gearbox (almost same design actually but gear ratio different and narrower, I do not own Porsche set though) like Porsche but I do not have 26287 so I used 18948. switching gear requires some force, actually expected it but I am curious if new driving ring is very smooth compared to white one. Is 26287 really necessary for smooth gear switch or 18948 is enough or very similar actually? I also thought about the old one but new one is easy to implement in gearbox.

thanks

[JJ2]

The red one does not have any friction so the driving ring just slides on the axle without clicking.

[scynox]

Thanks JJ2. I tested with white one and it requires some force so I will wait for red driver to be included into other sets hopefully

[JamesJT]

Why wait? That part is available now on lego bricks & pieces for £0.32

Almost all the new parts from the 2016 sets are there too. Wheels and tyres from claas are not availavle yet.

[AkiyamaWataru]

What I am wondering can i combine an order from bricks & pieces with a regular shop order?

[DoomedACE]

What I am wondering can i combine an order from bricks & pieces with a regular shop order?

I did that on two occasions. So at least, it did work for me.

[AkiyamaWataru]

Do you remember how you did it? Will your bricks and pieces order put in your basket or how does it work?

[zux]

You need to do your "Bricks & Pieces" order first, which then appears in your normal S@H shopping cart where you can spend your VIP point and everything else you do with normal order. It just you won't get any VIP points for "Bricks & Pieces" order.

[AkiyamaWataru]

Thank you both:)

Here is an awesome idea from Mr František Hajdekr.

The new Porsche panel usage is simply brilliant:

[roppie11]

with the release of the new 2H 2016 sets i just wanted to give an overview of the new parts, or parts in new colours:

Part #15458 is now available in Dark Blue and Yellow: http://www.bricklink...lor=11#T=C&C=11

the BWE has 3 axles in Red in 10L: http://www.bricklink...&colorID=5&in=A

the BWE also has 14 of the 9L axles in Yellow, and 3 of the 11L axles in Yellow.

http://www.bricklink...&colorID=3&in=A

http://www.bricklink...age?P=23948#T=C

42053 has two of Part #32034 in Orange, not seen since 2002: http://www.bricklink...&colorID=4&in=A

42053 also has a 12L axle in Red, not seen since 2005: http://www.bricklink...&colorID=5&in=A

42053 also has Part #32184 in Yellow: http://www.bricklink...&colorID=3&in=A

the new curved Technic panels are now available in Black, 5 of them in 42053: http://www.bricklink...Color=3#T=C&C=3

a rare Technic brick was brought back into production, produced in Black and the part has not been seen since 2000, Part #2743: http://www.bricklink...colorID=11&in=A

you can now get all the Yellow axles in 3, 5, 7, 9 and the new 11L length, you can now get Red axles in 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12L.

set #70322 has a rare Technic brick also, Part #2744 in Blue, not seen since 2000: http://www.bricklink...&colorID=7&in=A

well, seems like blakbird has to write a long chapter for 2016 parts

Hey guys, I did some searching, and i have found a place that is not an Ebay store, where you can get some Lego compatible pneumatic tubing. Philo actually discovered this stuff.

Versilic Tubing.

It's available on Amazon, under science, and lab supplies, and there are many lengths available. What you are after is the tubing that is 1/8 inch(4mm) Outside diameter, and 1/16 inch(2mm) Inside diameter. You can get 50 feet for only $30 US, which is a pretty spiffy deal. This is particularly relevant now, because we are having a pneumatic contest running now, so some people might need it.

Further discussion about this can take place in our newly created Buying Third Party Parts Discussion Topic.

Excuse me folks, but I found this while setting up a wanted parts list on bricklink. Could anyone help me on what this is and why it's there?

thanks,

Mmmmm, i think there is something missing in your post.

[letsbuild]

Oh, right, thanks.

[Imanol BB]

Don´t worry, so, what do you need?  Now i see, as i know that part is just like a normal liftarm, but it has 16 pin holes (as far as i know).

[letsbuild]

I would like to know how I can get my hands on a couple of these:

 

And what's the deal with it?

Just to note, I found it on bricklink.

It's thin and sixteen studs long..

thanks,

I think it is just for catalog at bricklink, not for sale (yet),seems to be an extremely rare piece, it actually looks to be a lever, it has 14 pin holes, and one cross-axle hole in each side, so far i haven't been able to find a seller, maybe you can try by searching it in internet as "Lego liftarm02", which is its name.

[letsbuild]

Thank you!

Do you think it will be part of a new set?
